An apparent change in position of a star due to the movement of the Earth in it's orbit. The closer the star is there is a larger shift and the further the star is there is a smaller shift.

Which of these was NOT seen telescopically by Galileo?
stellar paralax
When can parallax not be used?
Paralax can not be used during an eclise
How did aristotles inability to detect paralax lead him to propose a geonetric model of the solar system?
actally... can u guys help me on this one?
If Vega is 25.3 light year from earth and arcturus is 36.7 light years away which star would have a greater parallax explain?
vega its like a triangle the farther away one part is(arcturis) the narower the triangle is (paralax)
What process is used in 3D TV?
A paralax barrier is used on 3d TVs to make them so you don't need to use glasses. It controls the way the light leaves the display. You can read about it at http://www.notascoolasitseems.com/review/how-does-3d-work-and-without-glasses
What has the author Alun Francis written?
Alun Francis has written: 'Contexture in paralax 2' -- subject(s): Wind quintets (Bassoon, clarinet, flute, horn, oboe) 'The Navvies' Union and the building of the Manchester Ship Canal' -- subject(s): Navvies' Bricklayers' Labourers' and General Labourers' Union
How scientists determine the distance of stars million light years away from earth?
i know astronomers use paralax for stars thay know by red shift if ther moveing away and blue shift if coming closer may some galaxies are so far there lite wont reach us
Why should you avoid parallax?
There is no such way to avoid parallax error, you just have to be careful.. :)

What is the name given to the phenomenon in which the apparent motion of the planets sometimes reverses?
Retrograde motion happens when the Earth overtakes an outer planet in its orbit. It happens around the date of Opposition when the planet is opposite the Sun in the sky. Usually planets travel from west to east along the ecliptic, but during retrograde motion they travel backwards, from east to west,.
Who is the bad guy in 'Green Lantern 2'?
With the exception of Alan Scott (who is a different sort of Green Lantern), every Earth-born Green Lantern has been a member of the Justice League at some point, occasionally with overlapping memberships. They are, in no particular order:Hal JordanJon StewartGuy GardnerKyle Rayner
Why is the theoretical value differ from the experimental value that you obtained from the voltage?
Your question is lacking in enough detail to give you a precise answer. However, it is not unusual in any experiment to get different experimental values depending on the controls you place on the experiment. For example, using Ohm's Law the Voltage is Current x Resistance. Say you have a simple DC circuit with a 100 ohm resistor across a 10 Volt supply. Theory tell us that the current is equal to one-tenth amp (.1A). However, when you measure the current with an ampmeter the value is .15 A. Among other things the following things could go wrong. (Sample errors chosen at random to illustrate the point) 1.) The voltage really isn't 10 volts, it is only 9.8 volts under load. 2.) Your ampmeter isn't calibrated correctly and reading is off. 3. ) You have an analog ampmeter and there is a paralax error in reading the meter which throws off your measurement. 4.) The tolerance of the resistor is 20% so you don't really have 100 ohms. 5.) Temperature could play a factor. 6.) There could be a loose connection. 7.) Your little brother dripped jelly on the resistor effectively changing the end to end resistance, and so forth.
